Ben Platt (The Politician, The Beauty) and Russell Tovey (Plainclothes, HBO‘s Years and Years) are the latest actors added to the upcoming fifth and final season of the HBO/BBC drama Industry, which is now in production.

Platt will play Matt Crenshaw, a venture capitalist and an early backer of a wellness-tech company.

Also joining the final season are previously announced Cary Elwes as an investor, Sam Riley as an elusive British businessman, Jessica Brown Findlay as a family friend of Sir Henry Muck, Luke Manley as an execution trader and Eduard Poliakov as a trader.

In Season 4, at the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top.
